New Hoffman video dropped. Not sure if we have any 3rd wave coffee lovers in this community. I’ve been an avid AeroPress user for about two years now and it will be interesting to see where the company goes, though it will likely not affect me as this thing feels nigh indestructible and I can likely use it for ten years with no issues.

    Also, I’m curious what your experience has been with Wacaco. To me the Pico/Nanopresso have seemed interesting from a travel perspective, but for home brewing don’t look too useful. Curious what your primary use case is.

    I’ve got the Cuppamoka (fancy pour-over device) and the Pipamoka, but I’d really love to get a Pico/Mini/Nanopresso.

    Both the Cuppamoka and Pipamoka make nice coffee, but I prefer the Cuppamoka’s results better. Technique is important, and I was getting nearly the same results before as I do now with a better hand grinder and more appropriate grind settings.

    I do use these both at home, but I’m a bit of a freak with making coffee using less common methods, even thought I’ve got pretty decent espresso and Nespresso machines. LOL

    I don’t know what it is about using them, but I appreciate the all-in-one nature of them both, and the fact that I don’t need a machine to make coffee.

    The Pico/Mini/Nanopresso would likely be less used at home, but I’d still enjoy using one :) If I can find a way to make coffee while out on long bike rides, without needing to boil water on the go, I’d totally get one.

    Now, Hoffman did have another video comparing a bunch of portable espresso makers, and he was using boiled/hot water out of an insulated thermos, which sounds like it could work. I might just try it out with the Pipamoka!
